I was up till 1:00 AM last night doing work... and now I'm doing more work now.
My normal work has gotten absolutely mental lately. We've aquired... 2...? No 3! 3 companies in the past few months. The largest is like "Ok, here's this huge company! We're gonna transition everything off of their IT infrastructure and onto ours and shut their old stuff down... by January!"
Yeah, right. I've been in this business a long time, and I've seen a LOT more than most of my compatriots because I haven't worked at one place for 15+ years like the bulk of them... I KNOW that there is NO WAY that's gonna happen.
And guess who's gonna own all that stuff? My organization. Me. FUN!
Not to mention I've recently earned the reputation of being "the guy you give stuff to when it's "being horribly managed and is a train wreck on fire, because he'll put the fire out, get the train back on the tracks, and put a turbo on it to boot." (that's a quote... and not mine)
Which means I have two MAJOR catastrophes that I am managing back onto the tracks WHILE I'm dealing with this merger stuff. Thank god I have a couple managers working for me so I can kind of set them on the merger... but they're a bit inexperienced. Great guys, but they need a lot of guidance on this stuff.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Ok, back to work...
